Durkin v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Mar 11, 2009
37 So. 3d 264 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2009)

Opinion

No. 2D08-1112.

March 11, 2009.

Appeal pursuant to Fla.R.App.P. 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Sarasota County; Charles E. Roberts, Judge.

Frank G. Fernandez of Fernandez, Larkin Garcia, P.A., Tampa, for Appellant.


We affirm the summary denial of Ronald Durkin's motion for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. One claim was based on allegations of newly discovered evidence, but the evidence was not newly discovered as shown by the record attachments to the circuit court's order. The second claim was not based on allegations of newly discovered evidence, and therefore it was time barred. See Fla.R.Crim.P. 3.850(b) (providing two-year window for postconviction claims in the absence of exceptional circumstances like newly discovered evidence).

Affirmed.

NORTHCUTT, C.J., and ALTENBERND and KHOUZAM, JJ., Concur.
